Exclusive Lost News From Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

LOST is back on April 24th with the second installment of Season 4 airing episode 9 entitled, "The Shape of Things To Come." This morning, PST, I got a sneak peek into Seasons 4, 5 & 6 from LOST’s executive producing team of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Here are a few things we learned:

• Season 4 finale will be on May 29th. It will be a two-parter entitled "There's no Place Like Home." They just finished writing the finale this past Monday (4/14/08) and they’re now doing some polishing and revising to it. Beginning last week, two crews are currently shooting the finale.

• There are 34 episodes left which will be deferred into Seasons 5 & 6. The final show will air in 2010.

• There are 34 episodes left which will be deferred into Seasons 5 & 6. The final show will air in 2010.

• Season shortened – They didn't get a chance to tell the story of freighter folk - this will be addressed further next season. They had originally planned to concentrate more on the freighter folk this season, but due to the strike, their time was limited.

• The enhanced episode reruns (with the bubbles) are like Cliff Notes for those who don’t spend time on the internet after the show digging up Easter eggs. If you’re an expert, it's below your reading level.

• When asked what books a viewer might read to get hints regarding the remaining episodes and storyline, Cuse responded with, “Read the Bible.”

• They do have the series finale in mind and only a handful know how it ends, but they won’t tell us who – in order to keep them from being kidnapped.

• Both of their wives are fans of the show and whenever Carlton's wife hears him on the phone discussing plotlines she puts her fingers in her ears and has to leave the room.

• We’ll see more of Jeff Fahey (Frank the helicopter pilot from the freighter) during the rest of this season and possibly the next. He had been working in Kabul, Afghanistan before returning to the states, at which time he was asked if he’d consider coming back to TV and ultimately join LOST.

• The Love Triangle – They’ve confirmed that Sawyer is not one of Oceanic 6, and we know that Jack and Kate are. This season’s finale will show you why this happens and it's on the axis of the love triangle. “Skaters” (fans of a Sawyer and Kate resolution) and “Jaters” (fans of a Jack and Kate resolution) will receive a bounty of information regarding this love triangle and it will point to why Sawyer doesn't make it off.

• After this season is done, what do we do between seasons? Fans can expect some online content that will act as a prologue lead-in to Season 5 and serve to generate some excitement and interest for Season 5. The “Orchid” video from last year’s ComicCon will pay off in big way in this season’s finale. So those attending this year’s ComicCon, will get taste of things to come in Season 5.
